5 protocols using bl21 codonplus ril cells

1

Purification and Histone Methyltransferase Assay of HAP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Full length open reading frame of HAP was amplified from the pGWB402 vector using the primers listed in Supplementary Table S5 and cloned into the pGEX4T-3 expression vector. The resulting plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21-CodonPlus-RIL cells (Agilent) and protein expression assays were then performed as previously described [58 (link)]. Briefly, cells containing pGEX4T-3 vector were grown to an exponential phase and protein expression was induced by adding IPTG. Bacteria were then disrupted by sonication and protein purification was performed using GST-sepharose (Pharmacia) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Finally, Histone H3 (K4, K9 and K27) methyltransferase activity was determined using HMT activity quantification assay kits (Abcam) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

HIV-1 Capsid Protein Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
E.coli BL21 CodonPlus-RIL cells (Agilent Inc. Santa Clara, CA) transformed with pGEX-4T-3 or pGEX-HIV-CA were used for purification of GST proteins using standard methods. Fifteen independent synthetic peptides covering HIV-1 CA were designed and provided by Sigma-Aldrich (Sigma-Aldrich Co, St. Louis, MO). The amount of CA protein was quantified using HIV-1 CA (p24) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (ZeptMetrix Corporation, Buffalo, NY).

Purification of Pf LipL1 Protein Variants

All constructs were transformed into BL21-Star (DE3) cells (Invitrogen) containing the pRIL plasmid isolated from BL21-CodonPlus-RIL cells (Agilent) and plasmid pRK586 encoding the Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease as described.17 (link) These cells produce a protein product fused to an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag. 2L of TB media containing ampicillin, kanamycin, and chloramphenicol were inoculated with an overnight culture for an initial OD600 of approximately 0.1. The cells were grown to mid log phase at 37°C and then the temperature was reduced to 20°C. Protein expression was induced with 0.4 mM Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and the cells were harvested after 10h. Purification was performed as described previously for full-length PfLipL1.14 Briefly, PfLipL1 variants were purified by immobilized metal ion chromatography followed by cation exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. The first two steps of purification were performed on the same day to avoid proteolytic cleavage. Purified PfLipL1 mutants were concentrated to approximately 5 mg·mL−1 and stored at −80°C.

Purification of pMAL-cHT PyrKII Protein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pMAL-cHT PyrKII protein was purified from BL21 Star (DE3) E. coli cells (ThermoFisher) also harboring the pRIL plasmid from BL21-CodonPlus-RIL cells (Agilent). Cells harboring both plasmids were grown in LB medium, and shaken at 220 rpm at 37°C until an OD600 of 0.6 was reached. At this point, protein expression was induced with 0.4 mM isopropyl β-thiogalactoside (IPTG) and the cells were then incubated for an additional 4 hr at 27°C. Cells were lysed with 20 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 1 mg/mL lysozyme (Sigma), 2.5 µg/mL DNAse I (Sigma), and 1 mM PMSF, followed by sonication. The MBP-PyrKII protein was purified from the resulting lysate using a 5 mL MBPTrap HP column (GE Healthcare), and eluted with 100 mM maltose. The resulting protein was then cleaved with TEV protease and further purified using a 5 mL HisTrap column (GE Healthcare). The protein was then eluted with an imidazole gradient, and peak fractions were collected, pooled, and concentrated for storage in 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100 mM KCl, 10% glycerol at −80°C.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
